Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ now supports private networking connectivity

Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ now supports private networking, enabling brokers to connect to private resources in a VPC without public exposure, enhancing security and compliance.

Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ now supports private networking, allowing brokers to connect to private resources within a VPC without exposing them publicly. This helps meet security and compliance requirements when brokers need to access private identity providers, other brokers, or self-hosted RabbitMQ brokers. Previously, such connectivity required workarounds with Network Load Balancer and NAT Gateway. Amazon MQ establishes this connectivity using Amazon VPC Lattice, AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM), and AWS PrivateLink, managing the underlying infrastructure on behalf of users. Available for Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ brokers in all AWS Regions where Amazon VPC Lattice is available.
